Top 10 saddest scenes from The Vampire Diaries

Disclaimer- There will be spoilers from seasons 1-5 so don’t look if you are not up to them yet…not unless you like being spoiled. These are just my opinions and I know not everyone will agree with me. All photos and videos used do not belong to me, if they do belong to you just comment if you want credit for them! Thank you! 😛

10. Bonnie’s Grams death scene

This was from Season 1 episode 14. It was probably the first scene that truly made you sympathize with the characters. I didn’t really care for Bonnie or Grams much at this point during the show but I have to admit this scene was very emotional. Here is a link to the full scene: Bonnies Grams death

9. Caroline and her Dad scene

This was from season 3 episode 13. I think the saddest thing about this scene is that it could of went either way. He could of survived. I think its the first in the series where we have seen someone choose not to become a vampire. It was really sad because Caroline thought he hated what she was and couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t become a vampire. Here is the link to this scene: Caroline and her Dad

8. Elena realising Jeremy is dead

This was from season 4 episode 15. This just brought back all the memories of the people who have died before. Jenna. John. Alaric. It was so sad when Elena was asking Damon about Ric “I know you want your drinking buddy back” 😥 It makes you realise how many people she has lost in the past what 1-2 years and how much things has changed. She’s lost 3 sets of parents and now her brother. Here is the link to this scene: Elena realising Jeremy is dead

7. Bonnies funeral

This was from season 5 episode 4. Bonnie wasn’t even one of my favourite characters but the things what she said to all her friends were so sad, I cried like a baby. She knew exactly what to say to all of them to make them feel better and the fact that she got to say goodbye was all she could of wanted. Also if a Birdy song is playing, you know it is going to be a sad scene. Here is the link to this scene: Bonnies Funeral

6. Jenna and John’s funeral

This was from season 2 episode 19. And yet another Birdy song. And yet another funeral. I really miss Jenna and surprisingly I really miss John. His letter which he left for Elena just redeemed his character so much. Also can I just add poor Alaric yet again losing another girlfriend. He must be so confused whether he should stay and look after Elena and Jeremy or leave Mystic Falls before anything else goes wrong. Here is the link to this scene: Jenna and Johns funeral

5. Elena dies/car flashback

This was from season 3 episode 22. I think this is one of the best scenes in the history of the Vampire diaries. I loved the flashbacks to when Elena’s parents died. I loved the symmetry of it all. It was so emotionally captivating. Also this is also the scene when Alaric dies for reals this time. Its so sad that Damon is not only seeing his best friend die but at the very same time he knows that Elena is also dead. Then Alaric appears as a ghost to Jeremy and tells him he will never be alone . RIP ALARIC + RIP HUMAN ELENA 😥 Here is a link for the scene: Elena dies/Car Flashback

4. Stefan’s death scene

This was from season 5 episode 21. Candice Accola’s acting in this scene was pure gold. I loved how Stefan and Caroline’s relationship has developed through this season. Always sticking up for each other. But then Stefan literally gets his heart ripped out. The song playing in the background is full of determination because we know that Caroline will stop at nothing to get Stefan back. Steroline! Here is a link to the scene: Stefans death scene

3. Alaric’s ‘death’ scene

This was from season 3 episode 20. This may be cheating a little because I’m referring to two scenes. The first is when everybody comes to say goodbye to Alaric. And he talks to Elena and Jeremy. ‘Taking care of you and Jeremy has been the closest to come of the life I’ve always wanted’ With The Fray playing in the background could this episode become any sadder. Yes. By doing the Damon and Alaric goodbye speech too. This was hands down the best and most unlikely friendship on the show. Here is the link for scene 1 and scene 2

2.Damon and Elena goodbye scene

This was from season 5 episode 22. Hands down the best Delena scene ever. I’m sure in seasons to come it will be hard to be this scene. ‘Its the epitome of a fulfilled life’ For anyone who has ever doubted there love for each other please re-watch this scene. Also I loved the song in the background for this scene. Here is the link for this scene- Damon and Elenas goodbye

1. Alaric and Damon grave scene

This was from season 4 episode 2. First can I just applaud how well the writers incorporated Alaric death into season 4. In a lot of other TV shows they would of just mentioned him once or twice. I loved what this scene showed about Damon’s character. He’s not staying there to try and win the girl he’s staying there to look after Elena and Jeremy because that’s what Alaric would of wanted. If Ric was alive still Damon would of left because he is the only one he trusts with Elena and Jeremy’s safety. I think Alaric’s death shows off Damon’s humanity better than any other character on the show including Elena. Here is the link for this scene: I miss you too buddy 😥

Well I would say that was fun but honestly it was rather depressing. Leave comments down below saying what was your saddest scene and what are you hoping to see in season 6?

Yes #2! Omg I’m crying just thinking about it. For season 6 well it’s obvious, I WANT DAMON BACK. I’m a hardcore Delena shipper and what they did in the season finale. Not.Okay. I was and still am so pissed. And the season picks up 4 months later… 4 months! And the way it ended with Damon and Bonnie and the other side crumbling I just yea
